Disparities in Postpartum Permanent Contraception Requests and Fulfillment: A Comparative Review Between Incarcerated and Community Populations

This review synthesizes evidence on the lower prevalence and fulfillment rates of postpartum permanent contraception requests among incarcerated individuals compared to community counterparts, underscoring reproductive justice and health equity challenges.
Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography vs. Liver Histology: Head-to-Head Prognostic Comparison in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography vs. Liver Histology: Head-to-Head Prognostic Comparison in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

This study demonstrates that vibration-controlled transient elastography offers prognostic accuracy comparable to liver histology for predicting liver-related events in MASLD, supporting its role as a noninvasive alternative in clinical practice and trials.
